300 years of winemaking tradition at the foot of Rezi Castle
About the winery
The Takács family's winemaking heritage traces back to the 1730s, when Takács Mihály began planting vineyards at the foot of Rezi Castle. Through generations, the family has preserved the art and science of viticulture and winemaking, blending tradition with expertise.
The cellar produces wines using the cordon method, balancing the youthful vigor of Balaton-felvidék with the classical character of Tokaj-hegyalja. Zsolt Takács has led the cellar since 1992 and has bottled wines since 1997. The partial recovery and subsequent expansion of vineyard land in the 1990s and 2012 enabled the pursuit of quality winemaking.
The cellar welcomes visitors with two wine families – the Biciklis and Három Nővér collections. The wines are produced through spontaneous fermentation, without added nutrients or cultured yeasts. Notable wines include the Raisin-aged Tramini and the semi-dry, muskatel-scented Nektár, which received Hungaricum recognition in 2003.
